Comfort, O comfort my people,
says your God.
2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
and cry to her
that she has served her term,
that her penalty is paid,
that she has received from the Lord’s hand
double for all her sins.
3 A voice cries out:
‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord,
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
4 Every valley shall be lifted up,
and every mountain and hill be made low;
the uneven ground shall become level,
and the rough places a plain.
Isaiah 40:1-4
There are two pieces of Handel's Messiah that follow- as musically they are almost one piece. This is from a BBC documentary and the comments at the beginning are almost as beautiful as the music. Peace to you in this Advent season-
Andrea
